Rural Youth Reconciliation Initiative

We are excited to announce the launch of the Rural Youth Reconciliation Initiative (R-YRI)!

This project will engage rural young leaders aged 18 to 29 years from across the country, building a national network of young leaders realizing their own transformative visions of community building.

Rural teams of Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth leaders will work together over three months to plan and implement a community project within their respective communities. Youth leaders will be required to attend a training in February 2019 outside of Montreal, QC (all expenses paid). The community action project will be developed between January and April 2019, requiring approximately 6-10 hours of volunteer work per week.
